Emergency Regulations CAN:

time period, such as the time from when an obligation was created to
the deadline or the whole of a voting period, to be more than double
its original length.


"pre-Emergency-extension length"? Otherwise it can't further increase a
voting period that was already increased for lack of quorum. Though that
may have been intentional.


If the Prime Minister has not Extended the Emergency in the past
month, any player CAN cause this rule to repeal all Emergency
Regulations and then itself.


I was gonna suggest clarifying that extended deadlines stay extended,
etc., but (a) kinda pointless when the rule is repealing itself too,
and (b) probably already covered by Definition and Continuity of
Entities.

I think you a word.

Also, even if the PM is allowed to issue e.g. Certiorari and
Consultation during the same month, I'd still prefer they were at least
informally grouped by the office primarily affected. (For one, it makes
it easier to work out which offices don't yet have any Cabinet Orders
associated, and whether any might reasonably be added.)


Amend Rule 2423, "First Among Equals", by appending as a new paragraph:
   "The Prime Minister SHOULD deliver an address, which need not be
particularly lengthy, formal, or serious, upon high state occasions,
including Agora's Birthday, Read the Ruleset Week, Awards Month,
and the first Eastman Week of each quarter. The Prime Minister SHOULD confer
with the Speaker on the content of these addresses. The Prime Minister 
SHALL,
at bare minimum, acknowledge the enumerated high state occasions while they
are ongoing; failure to do so is the Class-1 Crime of Sincure-ing Too Hard."


"Sinecure-ing"?
